*Where* a toy is manufactured is really important to us - I love the fact that Ape to Zebra includes that information. Some people may presume that a German (or Canadian, or American etc!) company would make all their toys in one country - and thats just not the case. Its wonderful to find a site that shows where the toy is actually manufactured.
My order from Ape to Zebra was incredibly efficient as well. It arrived 2 days after I placed the order, well packed, and in perfect shape! Karen from Mississauga, Canada
I really like to buy wooden toys for my son. I cant afford to spend a lot of money, and while I like Haba toys / standards, Ape 2 Zebra has offered a cheaper and just as good alternative - Heros toys! What is more, Heros was a brand that I had as a child, so it reminded me about the small wooden trains and blocks, and I was happy to find them online in Canada. Ape 2 Zebras sales and prices are certainly "matched" to competitive ones (though for Hero I have yet to find the competition in Canada and online). And because I do order online, the shipping is very much fair, quick and selection is huge. I love what is offered on this website! Amy from Dease Lake, Canada
We at Ape to Zebra believes that children learn skills such as speech, language, counting, logical thinking, motor skills, abstract reasoning, planning and more through play. That is why we focus on children toys that are educational, developmentally appropriate and of course fun!
For primary school children (age 5 to 8) we have a unique selection of high quality educational toys that makes gift giving easy. Our selection of children toys include a carefully selected collection of children books - by Barefoot Books. The books usually have a matching puzzle, story CD and/or hand puppets or finger puppets that children can use to play out the story or make up their own stories. These combinations make great children gifts.
Our selection of building and construction toys includes train sets, building blocks and construction sets by Heros (Brio compatible), gear construction sets by Quercetti and more.
Educational family games and board games foster learning and makes way for quality family time away from the television - a time to interact, socialize and learn while having fun! Children at this age also enjoy being creative and will spend hours enjoying pretend play. Creative play toys and dolls make perfect gifts for children between the ages of 5 and 8.
Between the ages of 5 and 8 children are very curious about the world around them, the why and how of things needs to be explained repeatedly. Providing them with age appropriate science kits and toys might just be the thing to inspire a lifelong interest in trying to understand the world we live in and how critical the role of science is in our everyday lifes.
We have a great selection of story CDs featuring master storytellers like Jim Weiss, Ann Rachlin and Robert Munsch. Children will enjoy hours of listening pleasure, going on imaginary adventures or romantic journeys. Listening to stories (some of the Barefoot Books have full length story CDs included) develops speech and language skills and enhances imaginative play and stimulates memory development. Our educational DVDs include titles by Magic School Bus (Scholastic), Read-Along (Walt Disney) and Beethoven lives Upstairs (Classical Kids).
